Blessed by Breakfast (people)

/0 Comments/in /by

Editorial note: I’m trying to blog from my phone. I love experiments!

Truth: I am blessed by breakfast because of the wonderful people I wake up with!

My intention is begin the day with love, light and respect. (Somedays are better than others but setting the intention helps when I get off the zen mommy track.)

I have always enjoyed a very simple breakfast–coffee with toast (eating in bed with a newspaper–a bed party of sorts.) My family likes a little more variety so . . . Buying boxes and boxes of cereal made sense–until one day it no longer held the solution.

Many, many factors went into my decision to “ban the box” from our breakfast table. Gradually, I began a morning practice of blessing my family with simple, nutritious, plant based foods for breakfast. Muffins, fruit, oatmeal and toast with yummy jams served with coffee or tea. Doesn’t that sound divine!?!

Each day we are all given the gift of a new day. What will you do with yours?

Real Love (a free e-book–just for you!)

Last October I began an online Writing Class called Tribe Writers.  I wrote about it here.

I’ve posted on my Facebook Page–Joyful Mom–in everything give thanks, every time one of my classmates has an e-book!  Today I’d like to share a book written by Anne Peterson.  Anne is not only a wonderful writer–she has a spirit of inspiration, gratitude and joy–that is a blessing to me.

You can find her FREE kindle e-book here.  (but only until tomorrow)

About her book Real Love:

Love. We pursue it our whole lives, needing to know we matter and that we belong. From the moment we’re born, we are placed in families to connect. Sadly some of us never have.

Anne Peterson is a storyteller. Using little anecdotes, photographs, and a few of her poems, she reveals how finding real love changed her life. Tucked in each chapter are truths you will want to hold onto.

This little book will help you realize you are loved and accepted, regardless of what’s happened in your life. And this love is real: guaranteed to last.  If you would like to follow Anne on Facebook click here.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Be Blessed.
